Highlights

  • Reserve Protocol launched five AI-themed DTFs on BNB Chain, giving investors single-token exposure to the full AI supply chain.
  • The funds are backed by tokenized U.S. equities via Ondo Global Markets and trade on PancakeSwap, CoWSwap, and Bitget Wallet.
  • BNB Chain holds over $5.1B in tokenized stock DEX volume, while Ondo commands 70%+ of the tokenized equities market.

Reserve Protocol has launched five AI-themed Reserve Protocol DTFs (Decentralized Token Funds) on BNB Chain. The aim is to give global investors a single-token route into the full AI supply chain.

The products, $BUILDOUT, $POWER, $PHOTON, $NEOCLOUD, and $ROBOTS, are live now and backed by tokenized U.S. equities via Ondo Global Markets. The announcement was made on Reserve Protocol’s official X account on July 9, 2026, alongside a video explainer and trading links.

Five DTFs, One AI Economy: What Reserve Protocol Just Built

Each of the five new Reserve Protocol DTFs targets a different layer of the AI value chain. $BUILDOUT covers AI hardware and infrastructure stocks.
$BUILDOUT covers AI hardware and infrastructure stocks.

$POWER focuses on energy and power generation companies feeding AI data centers.

$PHOTON tracks photonics and optical networking companies. $NEOCLOUD holds cloud computing and AI infrastructure providers. $ROBOTS rounds out the set with robotics and automation equities.

The interesting part of the update is that an investor can buy $NEOCLOUD and get instant exposure to tokenized cloud equities without limit.
The DTFs are built on Reserve Protocol’s open-source infrastructure, which is powered by Ondo Global Markets (OGM). It holds tokenized U.S. stocks via licensed U.S. broker-dealers.

Tokens are currently accessible via app.reserve.org, PancakeSwap, CoWSwap, and Bitget Wallet. They are also available on the BNB chain. Bitget has also reportedly launched an $80,000 prize pool trading campaign in relation to these DTFs.

On June 17, Ondo Finance witnessed a welcoming expansion of its tokenized securities offering. This move added 173 new tokenized stocks and ETFs across AI, robotics, quantum, and defense tech, taking its catalog past 430 assets on Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain.

The research protocol leveraged the expanded inventory and took it steps further.

Why BNB Chain, and Why Now

BNB Chain currently holds over 709 tokenized stocks and ETFs in custody, with Ondo Global Markets. This accounts for more than $5.1 billion of its $6 billion in cumulative DEX volume. That liquidity depth makes BNB Chain the natural home for new tokenized equity products.

The timing is equally deliberate. Global RWA tokenization crossed $36 billion in on-chain value in 2026, with Ondo alone commanding more than 70% market share in tokenized equities and over $3.7 billion in Total Value Locked.

The broader RWA tokenization platform landscape is experiencing rapid growth, and Reserve Protocol is positioning itself at the intersection of DeFi composability and real-world AI equity exposure.

For non-U.S. investors, historically locked out of AI stocks like Nvidia or TSMC or data center REITs. These Reserve Protocol DTFs offer a first-mover on-chain alternative to traditional AI ETFs. Unlike those ETFs, DTFs trade 24/7, are fully collateralized onchain, and can plug into DeFi lending and collateral protocols.

RSR stakers also stand to benefit. Protocol fees from DTF activity fund $RSR buy-and-burn mechanics, tightening supply as TVL grows.
